Free Document Exchange Connects High Schools to Colleges
9/19/2007
College and career-planning services provider ConnectEdu has released its C!Doc college admissions tool for free to help high schools more easily connect students with higher education institutions.
Also free to community colleges and colleges, C!Doc streamlines admissions by letting higher education institutions automatically download electronic transcripts and recommendation letters from applications on ConnectEdu's Connect! Network.

The Connect! Network has been free to high schools since 2005.
